J., where thousands of recruits im the Revolutionary and Civil wars trained to fight the cause of freedom and liberty, was unveiled on Memorial Day a colossal trib- ute iu bronze, known as the “Wars of America” and dedicated to the heroes of the nations’ wars. The memorial bears the distinction of being the largest bronze monument in the United States. Approximately 20,000 persons, in- cluding officials of the city, state and mation, veterans of three wars, women and children stood with, bared heads and sang the Hymn of the Republic during unveiling of the monument. Crowding the huge area of Military Park, the sidewalks around the park and the windows of surrounding build- ings, the spectators saw Alice Mae Waer, grandniece of the late Amos H. Van Horn, who provided in. his will for the memorial, draw apart the flags which covered the mountainous pile of bronze. They saw two huge balloons draw the flag of Newark from the impres- sive pile and float high overhead. They saw 96 homing pigeons, two for each state of the Union, released from the covering over the memorial, rise high in the sky and then fly off to their respective states, carrying mes- Sages to the governors. ‘They heard, by means of a special public address system furnished by the Graybar Electric Company, commemo- Navy Curtis D.

Oval: resenting the Secretary of War, and other notables. Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and marines, mounted and afoot, with cais- sons of artillery, which were used the battlefields of France, vividly brought’ to mind the men who nine years ago marched through the streets of the cities throughout the nation for the World War training camps. It was into this setting that the Memorial Day parade, consisting of the veterans of three of the nation’s wars, swung early in the morning and stood at attention during the ceremo- nies. In his address, Secretary Wilbur said, in part: “The monument dedicated today is intended to express, as nearly as it can be done in bronze and stone, our sense of obligation-to the soldiers and sailors of the United States, not only in the World War, but in all our previous wars. This monument is a message to our children and:also to those who come to us from other lands, admon- ishing them that the liberties, the se- curity. and the. prosperity they: enjoy, though it may be free to them, has sey; Brig.

Thus the ar- tion of the composition represents and illustrates the people summoned to the defense of this freedom by showing the breaking of home ties, the hurried change of dress and the gathering of men into units moving forward to the frontiers and into battle. “The group is placed upon an in- cline, which emphasizes the struggle and shows the upward character of it; while in point of composition it cen- ters the entire group forward in a picturesque and dramatic climax.” .

ANNES, Eng., June 22.— Professional and amateur golfers to the number of 117 are qualified | to begin play here tomorrow in the | annual British open golf tourna-| ment. Four American amateurs and/ nine professionals will be pitted! against the best players that Great Britain and the continent can pro-| duce. The title will be defended | by one American, Jim Barnes, professional, who won it last year. The play will last over three days. One round at eighteen holes will be played on each of the first! two days and a double round of thirty-six holes on Friday. All {players who are fifteen strokes be- hind the low man at the end of the second round will be auto- matically dropped from the com- petition. The others will continue to play and the man having the lowest seore at the end of the 72 hole match will be the victor. Bobby Jones of Atlanta, Ga., who, in the qualifying round, shot sensational golf, has a great following. His score of 66-68- 134, has neyer been equalled in tournament play. Walter Hagen, the only Ameri- ean born goiicr who has ever won the title—and he has captured it twice—also is well thought of by the experts after the thrilling match he won against Abe Mitchell last Saturday in one of his famous fighting rallies. Hagen came from four down to win by two and one in a 72 hole match. Only one other American, aside from Hagen, ever has taken the trophy across the sea, he is Jock | Hutchison, but he is not a native bern. Hutchison did not come across the ocean this year to com- pete.

Sweetser was the first native American to win that title. No American ama- teur has ever won the British open. George Gadd, the British pro- fessional star, who was second to Jones with a 141 in the qualifying rounds, is liked by the devotees of the sport in speculation on the open.

Wherever Camels go—to the seashore, to the mountains, to the office— they bring pleasure, full smoking enjoyment. No other cigarette made ever gladdened the taste of so many millions, for Camels are made of the choicest tobaccos grown. Camels alone satisfy the taste for all that’s best in a cigarette, for Camel blending can be found no- where else at any price.

Camel success is built up on good- ness, by the world’s largest tobacco organization. Each year the mak- crs of Camels spend mullions for quality, and not one cent for frills or fancy wrappings.
